broken builds

Hello, you and I haven't spoken for a great long time now.  I'm having a problem
with the building of ORBit2, but I understand from looking over the web, that
the problem is rather more widespread, hitting everything which wants to run
/usr/local/bin/orbit-idl-2.

The problem is that ldd reports that orbit-idl-2 (built from devel/ORBit2) needs
 to be rebuilt because it relies upon an old lib from devel/icu2, but it fails
to rebuild with an error, not able to figure out a symbol named
G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION, which is obviously a #define.  Looking over the error,
it's because of a missing symbols in glib20, and there are a flock of error
reports on the web about this.  The only answer I have seen, so far, is that it
broke in glib version 21.6, so one should move glib back to 2.15.1  Too bad,
because the glib20 port seemed to  have jumped from 2.14 to 2.16.1.

OK, so, ultimately, I can't build gnome2 because of this.  I've no idea just how
many other ports might be affected.  I was sort of wondering if a different
solution existed, or if maybe one might consider rolling the glib20 port back to
2.15.1 until this gets fixed by the glib folks?
